What does “bun thit nuong” means anyway? Well, “bun” is a vietnamese term for Rice Vermicelli Noodles, the white noodle, while “thit nuong” is just grill pork. Charcoal grilled pork on skewers with noodles, or “Bun thit nuong” is a nice meal to have for breakfast or lunch. Even more because it is delicious with the freshness of noodles and vegetables combine with the juicy meat. The best thing about this is that it is really cheap, for only $1.25! Better than your school’s lunch!
